"Writing is 1/3 nib width & flex, 1/3 paper and 1/3 ink. In that order."Bo Bo Olson

"No one needs to rotate a pen while using an oblique, in fact, that's against the whole concept of an oblique, which is to give you shading without any special effort."Professor Propas, 24 December 2010

 

"IMHO, the only advantage of the 149 is increased girth if needed, increased gold if wanted and increased prestige if perceived. I have three, but hardly ever use them. After all, they hold the same amount of ink as a 146."FredRydr, 12 March 2015

I'm in, as long as at least one of the many finishes I love is available as an option.

 

I am pleased with the projected prices, and buying from the Goulets has always been a pleasure.

I like Edison pens and I like the idea of a group buy, but the Pearl isn't for me.

 

ETA: I am impressed by both Edison and Goulet for the professionalism and attention to us that is being paid in possibly making this happen.

 

Same here.

Thank you so much for making the guidelines for the group buy so clear. Love the idea and if it comes about I am in!

Also, big thanks to Heraclitus682, Brian Gray, and the Goulets for getting this thing off the ground. I cannot wait!

And from me too. Also a really big thank you to Trillium, who came up with the idea in the first place.

Folks,

 

I see a lot of people holding back on voting waiting for the final material and price.

 

Voting "yes" does not commit anyone to anything at this point.

 

Only vote "no" or abstain if you would NOT want a clipped Pearl c/c filler in ANY material in the price range of $160-$195 (plus shipping, holiday cookies for the UPS person, etc.). A "yes" says you are serious about buying if the final material and price turn out OK (and you're solvent at the time it actually does down).

 

If the minium votes are obtained, then the project moves to the next step - determination of material, construction of a prototype and establishing a final price. Remember, Mr Gray stated:

"4. You will see a prototype version of the final pen prior to making any commitment."

 

Edison Pens is simply trying to figure out if it is worth the time and expense to make that one prototype.

 

The actual commitment happens when we send money in to Goulet Pens (step "C" above). If there are enough real orders, then it will actually happen.

 

To use a poker term, I've seen the flop and I'll call. :-)

 

Greg

 

P.S. I'll add my thanks to trillium & heraclitus682 for getting this started and to Mr Gray and the Goulets for their support and good business processes.

+1 to both. I'll hold out until the Pearlette group buy. ;)

Yep, Heraclitus... a little excited indeed.. haha.

I would like to extend a huge "Thank you" to you, Heraclitus for jumping in to keep the ball rolling when I "blinked" and to Mr.Gray for orchestrating this so well, and to the Goulets for being the catalyst that made this project truly feasible. It is small wonder why so many people hold the Goulets and Mr Gray in such high regard, this surpasses "customer service". With the task being considerable and the returns marginal, it is without question an act of kindness. This is precisely why it matters "little" to, "not at all" what materials are chosen to me. The pen will be a tangible example of why I am a fan of Edison & Goulet.

I'm in the same boat. Mr Gray has some spectacular acrylics and I love ebonite. Unless the group picks hot pink or something of the like, I'm going to like this pen no matter what. And even if the group picks hot pink, I'll still get one because my daughter will love it.

Is anyone else visiting the Edison Pen Co. Smugmug galleries, drooling over the possibility of owning a pen like this one in Golden Flake Acrylic?

Or this one in Flecked Tortoise Acrylic?

Or this one in Bedrock Flake Acrylic?

I am. Trillium showed me this material:

 

Gotta say, I love it.

 

Wow, that is gorgeous!

 

I also really liked that Bedrock Flake Acrylic a couple of posts up.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
